Advanced entry
The University of Glasgow offers Advanced Entry for some of its programmes. Applicants who achieve exceptional grades in their Advanced Highers, A-levels or International Baccalaureate may be considered for Advanced Entry, meaning that an Honours degree can be completed in three years instead of the normal four years, or four years for five-year integrated Masters programmes.
This list shows the degree programmes where this option exists. Indicative grades that must be attained in order to be considered are shown on programme pages. Applicants who require further information should contact the Admissions team.
